These exemplary sources are one from a satellite down link input 10, one from a two-way public telephone system network interface 11, and one from a two-way data network interface 12.
- the system forms a star network communicating signal to/from the head end to a system of base stations BS-1 . . . BS-N, each of which services a geographical cell of subscribers s1-1, s1-2 . . . s1-n, sn-1, sn-2 . . . sn-n communicating and receiving a host of services which may include such data as:

- basic rate and primary rate ISDN services T1 access
- POTS plain-old telephone service
- Remote in-home monitoring services such as might be employed for power meter reading or home security alarm services, and operational system hardware health and status monitoring.
- FIG. 2 A typical cellular system configuration is illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the cell has three 120 degree sectors labeled A, B, and C.
- the cell Base Station is located at the center of the cell.
- the Base Station is supplied with three 120 degree sector beam antennas AA, AB, and AC, each sector beam antenna illuminating one of the sectors in the direction indicated by the arrows pointing out from the center away from the Base Stations and into sectors A, B, and C.
- sector A antenna AA does not illuminate sectors B nor C.
- sector B antenna AB does not illuminate sectors A nor C
- sector C antenna AC does not illuminate sectors A nor B.
- Each Base Station supports a system of Subscribers all of whom will typically lie within its sector of service.
- Subscribers are typically provided with relatively high gain antennas with narrow beam widths.
- a typical set of overall system parameters are identified in Table 1 (FIG. 3a).
- a set of baseline communication link parameters is shown in Table 2 (FIG. 3b).
- the Subscriber's narrow beam antennas are pointed directly at the Base Station as indicated by the arrows emanating from X1 and X2 aimed at the center of the cell where the Base Station is located.
- the narrow beam antennas provide the effect of almost eliminating the possibility of multipath interference.
- the direction of transmission from the Base Station to the Subscribers is referred to herein as the "down stream” direction, whereas the direction of transmission from the Subscribers to the Base Station is herein referred to as the "up stream” direction.
- Table I (FIG. 3) that, as defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) there are 850 MHz allocated for the down stream traffic, and 150 MHz allocated for the up stream traffic. This total allocated bandwidth is to be divided equally among the various sectors, however many there are for the particular cell structure chosen, in this example three. Thus, sectors A, B, and C operate using different and equal portions (1/3 each) non-overlapping portions of the total allocated system bandwidth.
- FCC Federal Communications Commission
- FIG. 4 shows a system of seven cells.
- the single cell pattern as shown in FIG. 2 is repeated in FIG. 4(a).
- the seven cell pattern repeats the single cell configuration identically in every cell.
- the cells are differentiated only by the numerical labels placed on them here wherein all the sectors in cell 1 are identified by a 1 attached to its label.
- all transmission will be communicated in a TDMA format.
- the down stream transmitted power level for all signals from the Base Station will be adjusted to provide the proper receive signal level to the Subscribers at the maximum range.
- the up stream transmitted power levels originate from all the many Subscribers in the cell. These Subscribers will transmit at different assigned times so as to not interfere with each others transmissions.
- the transmitted power level from all Subscribers will be maintained at a level such that all Subscriber signals arrive at their respective Base Stations at approximately the same operating level. This further minimizes the possibility of mutual interference between Subscribers in the same cell.
- Subscribers and Base Stations in one cell will generate signals in the same frequency band and at the same assigned time slots of Subscribers and Base Stations of sectors of adjacent cells assigned to use those same frequencies and time slots.
- the Subscribers of one cell can transmit interference signals into the Base Station of an adjacent cell operating at the same frequency, or a Base Station can transmit interference into the Subscribers of an adjacent cell operating in the same frequency band.
- the Subscribers of sector A2 in cell 2 can illuminate the Base Station of sector A in cell 1 or cell 7.
- the Base Station of sector AI in cell 1 can illuminate the Subscribers in sector A of cells 2 and 3.
- Subscribers in sector A2 are three cell radii away from the Base Stations of sectors A7 and A1, and are four radii away than the Base Station of sector A2 such that their interference signals, will be significantly attenuated by the time they arrive at the sector A1, A7, or A6 Base Station antenna. Moreover, at these increased operating ranges it is expected that the propagation range loss is no longer a function of 20log(range), but rather a function of 40log(range), or 50log(range) so that the total attenuation is very significant and the received level of interference is negligible.
- interference signal levels may be attenuated sufficiently in most cases, it is desirable to be able to have improved cellular system designs for improved adjacent cell isolation if necessary. This can be done by use of the cell arrangement illustrated in FIG. 5.
- FIG. 5 again illustrates a hexagonal seven cell pattern with what appears to be a three sector pattern.
- each of the original three sectors has been divided in half, as shown for the A sector such that there are now effectively six sectors.
- These half sectors are shown for the A sectors as Ai and Aj.
- the placement of the Ai and Aj is the same for all cells along the diagonal following the arrow shown above the cellular pattern.
- the same pattern is followed in the third diagonal row, i.e., two rows below the first.
- the order of the A's is reversed.
- the system is now in fact a six sector pattern which eliminates any interference radiation from any Ai or AJ cell into another Ai or Aj. When any radiation does arrive from the previously offending adjacent sectors, it arrives at an angle which is significantly outside the 3 dB beam width of the receiving antenna.
- FIG. 6(a) An example of a single rectangular cellular system structures is given in FIG. 6(a), and expanded into a nine cell structure in FIG. 6(b).
- the description is the same, i.e., the center of the cell is the location of the Base Station.
- the Base Station transmits away from the center.
- the Subscribers in a given sector, e.g., sector Al aim their antennas directly at the location of the Base Station.
- Each of the eight sectors operate on different portions of the FCC allocated frequency bands. Note, however, that there are two of each letter designator. The reason for this is shown in FIG. 6(b). Note that the A's are reversed in their position in adjacent cells as was done in FIG.
- Isolation between adjacent cells is of utmost importance so that transmissions intended for one set of subscribers, is not received by another set of subscribers.
- a significant degree of isolation can be provided by the appropriate design of the cell structure whether it be hexagonal or square.
- the use of antenna polarization diversity can help increase the isolation between adjacent cells and in addition it may increase the effective capacity of the total system.
- FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) if polarization diversity were used between adjacent diagonal rows of cells, a frequency reuse of one is achievable throughout the hexagonal system.
- FIG. 6(b) and even assuming a four sector pattern rather than eight sector pattern, if polarization diversity were used between adjacent diagonal rows of cells, a frequency reuse of one is again achievable, in this case, throughout the rectangular system.
- the factors limiting the usefulness of polarization diversity are, 1) the amount of cross polarization isolation which can be achieved by an antenna, 2) the degree to which rain may depolarize a signal, or the degree to which a cross polarized component may be created due to rain effects, and 3) the degree to which multipath may exist in the system and degrade the cross polarization isolation. It is known, for example, that horn antennas of the approximate gain required for the system Subscribers can provide at least 25 dB of cross polarization isolation. It is believed that cost effective designs can be achieved for the system in this respect.
- the resulting signal to interference ratio will not degrade below approximately 25 dB for 99.9% of the time in the rainiest areas of the United States, for example.
- the multipath problem is circumvented by the fact that the Subscriber antennas have very narrow beam widths and can be expected to receive insignificant interference in the form of multipath signals. Similarly the Subscriber narrow beam transmission will generate minimal multipath signaling to the Base Station.
- the baseline system assumes a Subscriber population density of 1000 subscribers per 1 km radius cell. As the population density increases, the system must be designed to be able to accommodate the growth. It was shown that increased cell sectorization, e.g., from 4 to 8 for rectangular cells, and from 3 to 6 for hexagonal cells, improves the conditions of adjacent cell interference. Similarly it was shown that by use of polarization diversity a frequency re-use of 1 is achievable for both hexagonal and rectangular cell structures. Finally it was shown that by appropriate selection and assignment of the operating frequency bands, e.g., as shown by the use of the two bands for the A sectors labeled as Ai and Aj in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6(b), the adjacent cell interference was again reduced. All three techniques can be employed in the event of increased population density to achieve an increase in frequency re-use and thereby in effective total system subscriber capacity for these array configurations.
- FIG. 7 An improved hexagonal array configuration is shown in FIG. 7. It is referred to here as the "optimal" array because it provides frequency re-use of 1 without the need for polarization diversity. This is advantageous because the system capacity can be increased by cell sectorization alone.
- FIG. 8 A similar "optimal" rectangular array is shown in FIG. 8. Again the optimality is defined here to mean that 100% frequency re-use of one is achieved without resorting to use of polarization diversity. Note here that the transmission arrows are deleted for clarity and the center of each cell, i.e., the location of the Base Stations is identified by a black dot. In this case the first source of interference to sector A1 is not reached until sector A10 which is five cell radii away which again guarantees that the received signal strength will be below any noticeable interference level at A1.
- FIG. 9 illustrates an eight sector rectangular array pattern which achieves a 200% system capacity. Note that there are still only four frequency bands identified by the A ⁇ B ⁇ C ⁇ and D labels, but they are used twice per cell. This increases the capacity by a factor of two. Also note that the interference between adjacent cells is minimal, e.g., the lower sector A9 illuminating the lower sector A3. It is also noted that the system capacity can be further doubled by further sectorization and the use of polarization diversity.
- FIG. 10 A similar optimal array can be developed for hexagonal arrays and is shown in FIG. 10.
- the capacity is doubled because the three frequency bands are used twice in each cell.
- the distance to the first interfering sector is three cell radii away, e.g., sector C2 illuminating sector C1 on the far side of the adjacent cell. This may well be far enough such that there will be no noticeable interference. Should there be any interference the problem is solved by using polarization diversity in successive cells. Again, a further increase in capacity can be achieved by additional sectorization and the use of polarization diversity if found to be necessary to maintain interference at or below acceptable levels.
- FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b) Typical system frequency plans are shown in FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b).
- FIG. 12(a) shows the frequency plan for the Down Stream signals
- FIG. 12(b) shows the frequency plan for the Up Stream signals.
- the basic payload data rate is 51.84 Mbps with rate 7/8 convolutional coding concatenated with (60,54) Reed Solomon coding.
- all signals originate at the Base Station and they are mutually synchronous, they can be spaced at orthogonal frequency steps equal to 1/T where T is the transmitted symbol period.
- the Up Stream QPSK signals are spaced at frequency steps of 18.75 MHz. These carry a transmitted payload data rate of 28.8 Mbps. These signals cannot be assumed to be mutually synchronous and will therefore not be overlapped. In this case the adjacent bands will lie next to each other as shown in FIG. 12(b).
- the Base Station will provide high stability precision oscillators whose frequency will be known to an accuracy of at least 1E-9, such that frequency uncertainty of the carrier is no more than a few Hertz. Such oscillators are relatively costly and can not be provided for the Subscribers terminals. What will be provided at the Subscriber terminals will be oscillators with stability on the order of 1E-5 to 1E-6, which provides a frequency uncertainty range of 29,000 Hz to 290,000 Hertz. Operation with such large frequency uncertainties does not allow rapid acquisition operations.
- the Subscriber equipment will initiate operations in a receive mode only. It will acquire the precise and very stable Down Stream signal, track it with a phase-lock loop, and synchronize all its signals to it. The Subscriber equipment will then measure the error it perceives to exist in the received Head End signal and assume that the error in fact lies within its own hardware frequency reference. The transmitted Subscriber signal frequency will be corrected by the amount measured in the received Head End signal. The Subscriber will then initiate transmission operations with a transmit signal which may have a small frequency error but which will be as stable as the received Head End carrier. If an error of any significance remains it will be measured by the Head End and a correction signal transmitted to the Subscriber during the network entry operations to be described below. Thus, the possibility of a Subscriber coming on the air with a large frequency error will not be possible.
- Each time slot on the Down Stream will be equal to one ATM cell.
- Each Down Stream channel, or carrier will have a total payload data rate of 52.2 Mbps. With the FEC coding over head this becomes 66.29 Mbps.
- the first cell in each frame will be the frame indicator, or frame sync cell.
- the frame structure for the Down Stream signals is shown in FIG. 13(a). Since all Down Stream data will be handled as ATM signals, the ATM cells from a given source will be transmitted consecutively, however, they may appear separated from each other in the transmitted bit stream intermingled with data from other sources.
- Each Up Stream channel will have the throughput of one half an OC-1 channel. Including overhead bits the transmission rate will be 28.8 Mbps.
- the first cell in each frame will be the frame indicator, or frame sync cell.
- the frames of the transmitted Up Stream signals will be synchronized to the frames of the received Down Stream signals, such that the transmitted Up Stream does not require a separate frame sync slot.
- the frame structure for the Down Stream signals is shown in FIG. 13(a).
- the data transmitted by the Subscribers will occur in assigned slots in a format to be described below.
- the frame format to be used in the Up Stream signals is shown in FIG. 14. The figure shows a single signal as it will occur on one channel. All channels will have the same format but will communicate with a different set of Subscribers, In a preferred embodiment, there are four "regions" in the overall frame. The regions are identified by the function performed by the cells comprising the region. The regions are as follows:
- the net entry region consists of four consecutive cells and occurs at the beginning of the Up Stream frame. frame identifier, or frame sync cell.
- the Subscriber's frequency, timing, and power levels will not have been checked and adjusted.
- the Subscriber will measure the received Base Station signal power level and, knowing what it expects to receive as a function of range, it adjust its transmit level accordingly so that its signal will arrive at the Base Station at the proper power level.
- the Subscribers' signal is received at the Base Station its level is measured and refinements are made as necessary. This is accomplished by the Base Station as follows.
- the Base station has a reference received power level stored in memory for each subscriber. When it receives the Subscriber signal it compares the signal level received to that stored in the memory. The difference is transmitted to the subscriber as a correction factor initially in the Net Entry region of the frame and later on in the Polling region of the frame as described below.
- the Subscriber's frequency must be corrected. This is done in large part by the Subscriber equipment which locks on to the received Base Station signal, tracks it with a phase locked loop and synchronizes its system reference to it. Corrections to the Subscribers' frequency are communicated to the Subscriber in both the Net Entry and Polling regions of the frame.
- the timing of the transmit signal must be set so that it arrives properly synchronized to the TDMA format to be received at the Base Station.
- a Subscriber close to the Base Station will have essentially zero delay in its return signal assuming that it initiates signal transmission in perfect synchronism with the received frame identifier signal received from the Base Station.
- a Subscriber at the farthest range assumed here to be at least 2 km for the baseline microcellular system, but could conceivably be 10 km for a macrocellular system, will have a delay of approximately 13.44 microseconds and 61.2 microseconds respectively in its return signal assuming that it similarly initiates transmission in perfect synchronism with the received frame identifier signal from the Base Station.
- Each cell in the Up Stream frame is approximately 18 microseconds long.
- a net entry region four cells long provides a time slot 72 microseconds long which is sufficiently long to accommodate the maximum delays possible when the Subscribers transmit timing has not been adjusted.
- a Subscriber's equipment When a Subscriber's equipment is first turned on it transmits with no adjustment to its timing, i.e., zero delay in transmission. As soon as the Base Station receives the new Subscriber signal it measures the timing offset with respect to the first second net entry cell in the frame, it compares the received signal power level with respect to a stored reference level, and it measures its frequency offset, if any. The Base Station immediately transmits correction data to the Subscriber for all three parameters, power level, frequency, and timing, and waits to receive a subsequent transmission to verify that the corrections were properly received and implemented. Once the corrections are verified the Subscriber is directed to transfer operations to the channel and services assignment region whose location is also identified to the Subscriber. All correction parameters are stored by the subscriber terminal for future use.
- the size of the channel and services assignment region will be variable. It will consist of all the cells not needed by all the other regions but will not be allowed to be smaller than a size guaranteeing adequate service for the total population of Subscribers to be serviced by this channel. The exact minimum size will depend on the size of the Subscriber population.
- the Subscriber's signal parameters When assigned to the channel and services assignment region the Subscriber's signal parameters have all been adjusted so that when received at the Base Station its signal will be in timing synchronism with respect to the Base Station frame structure, its frequency error, if any, has been corrected and its power level will be properly set. Once these operations have been completed the Subscriber is removed from further operation in the net entry region so as to make it available for other Subscribers entering the system, if necessary.
- Operations in the channel and services assignment region are in a slotted ALOHA fashion.
- the Subscribers proceed to access the channel as required in a slot they hope is vacant. Collisions may occur at which time the Subscribers repeat the transmission with a random length delay.
- the function to be accomplished by operations in the channel and services assignment region are for the Subscriber to define for the Base Station the services it requires.
- the Base Station will then review the operational system conditions and define to the Subscriber which slots, or cells, it is to occupy in the assigned cell region of the frame so long as it continues to utilize the services requested.
- Once the issuance of cell assignment instruction is completed the Subscriber transfers operations to the assigned cell region as directed by the Base Station. Thereafter, operation in the channel and services assignment region will only be made use of by a Subscriber in emergency or priority situations which may arise and which cannot be serviced rapidly enough by the polling operations as described below.
- the assigned cell region is that portion of the frame carrying the on-line services data from the Subscriber to the Base Station.
- the Subscriber will be assigned a channel capacity, i.e., a number of cells, sufficient to accommodate the data to be communicated in a timely manner.
- the cells to be occupied are precisely defined so that a Subscriber has the capacity needed in an exact location reserved for his use only until the service is no longer needed at which time it is relinquished for use by other Subscribers.
- the net polling region serves two purposes: it provides a means of accessing off-line Subscribers and requesting a response for low rate monitoring and health check purposes, and it provides a means whereby the Base Station checks to see if a Subscriber requires servicing at that particular time.
- a cell will service on the order of 1000 Subscribers. This implies an average of 167 Subscribers to be serviced by each Up Stream channel. With 15 cells assigned to perform cyclic polling of all Subscribers, whether on-line or off-line, this translates to a check of 15 Subscribers every frame (6.625 ms), or a check of every Subscriber once every 74 Ms. This is adequate for purposes of such operations of monitoring utility power meters, security alarm systems, and hardware health check operations. It may not be sufficiently fast to keep up with the stream of service requests which will be generated be the Subscribers when demanding changes of service conditions while using a computer connection or controlling operating conditions of a television selection being viewed. In this event use will be made of the channel and services assignment region for communicating these service requests.
- All functions including MAC functions will be controlled by a series of control messages which are exchanged between the Head End and the Subscribers. All control messages flow through the Base Stations but in general all decisions will be made by the Head End. The detailed distribution of channel capacity as it relates to the physical channel occurs at the Base Station.
- the Up Stream message contains a number of fields. The exact content varies depending on the type of message. All messages must contain certain standard characterization fields as follows:
- Destination address--a unique N (e.g., 48) bit address identifying the Head End
- Source Address--a unique N (e.g., 48) bit address identifying the Subscriber
- Message Type--a N (e.g., 12) bit number identifying the message type.
- the Down Stream Message similarly contains a number of fields. The exact content varies depending on the type of message. All messages must contain certain standard characterization fields as follows:
- Destination Address--a unique N (e.g., 48) bit address identifying the Subscriber
- Source Address--a unique N (e.g., 48) bit address identifying the Head End
- Message Type--a N (e.g., 12) bit number identifying the message type.
- FIG. illustrates several typical complete message structures. The size of tea various segments is shown in terms of bytes.
- FIG. 16(a) illustrates the basic requirements for an Up Stream message.
- the configuration shown is adequate for use as either an Initiation Request message or a Terminate Request message. It can also be used for executing such functions as Request to Execute File Transfer by adding the details of what is to be transferred in the successive undefined cells of the message.
- the next simplest message format is that shown in FIG. 16(b) which can be used for a Terminate Command from the Head End following a Termination request from a Subscriber. It can also be used for executing such functions as a Command to Prepare to Receive a File Transfer by adding the details of what is to be transferred in the successive undefined cells of the message.
- FIG. 16(d) contains the Subscriber ID# and a parameter adjustment data.
- This type adjustment data would be provided to a new Subscriber in order to provide correct power level, carrier frequency, and signal transmit timing adjustments to ensure proper system operation and minimal interference between received Subscriber signals at the Head End.
- This message format can also be used for polling operations as a Status Request and a Parameter Adjustment Command. The message type would be changed to indicate that two functions are being performed, i.e., parameter adjustment data is being provided and a status data is requested from the Subscriber. Additionally, this general format is to be used as a Service Request Response by again changing the message type designator to indicate the appropriate two functions being performed and by appending to the message a definition of the services being allocated to the Subscriber.
- FIG. 16(c) shows a typical format for a Subscriber Service Request message. Since more than one type of service might be requested at any one time, multiple simultaneous service request may be issued in a single message as shown.
- All functions including MAC functions will be controlled by a series of control messages which are exchanged between the Head End and the Subscribers. All control messages flow through the Base Stations but in general all decisions will be made by the Head End. The detailed distribution of channel capacity as it relates to the physical channel occurs at the Base Station.
- FIG. 18 and FIG. 21 Power Level Adjustment
- FIG. 18 and FIG. 21 indicate the system level details of the operation as it is performed at the Subscriber and Base Station respectively.
- the Subscriber receives the Base Station signal while operating in a receive only mode.
- the Base Station always operates at a fixed transmit power level.
- the Subscriber receiving system receives and measures the Base Station power level. Based on this measurement, and knowing the transmit power level of the Base Station, the Subscriber system can estimate the range to the Base Station. Knowing the range to the Base Station, the Subscriber system can estimate the proper transmit power level at which it should operate. The Subscriber system sets the transmit power level to this estimated power level and initiates transmit operations.
- the Base Station following FIG. 21 immediately performs a signal level computation on the received Subscriber signal. It then compares the received power level to a stored reference level in a comparator circuit.
- the comparator provides a power level error measurement which is provided to a processor circuit (which may take the form of a microprocessor or a look up table) which provides a correction signal to be relayed to the Subscriber.
- the processor circuit assembles a power level adjustment command and relays it to the Subscriber.
- the Base Station periodically continues to perform a power level measurement and correction during the polling operations as required so long as the Subscriber is in transmit operation.
- FIG. 20 and FIG. 17 Subscriber Frequency Adjustment Operations
- FIG. 20 and FIG. 17 indicate the system level details of the operation as it is performed at the Subscriber and Base Station respectively.
- the Subscriber receives the Base Station signal while operating in a receive only mode.
- the Subscriber receiving system contains a low cost oscillator whose frequency accuracy will be on the order of 1E-5 or 1E-6. The frequency error can be quite large with this stability oscillator.
- Both the receive and transmit programmable phase lock loop (PLL) synthesizers are initial locked only to this crystal oscillator.
- the Base Station always operates at a fixed and very stable carrier frequency, with a stability on the order of 1E-9. Following FIG. 20 the Subscriber receiving system receives and tracks the Base Station carrier frequency with a PLL and synchronizes its transmit system frequencies and transmit programmable PLL synthesizer to the received Base Station carrier signal.
- a comparison is made between the received frequency as seen by the Subscriber receive system and that frequency which is expected. It is assumed that the total error as seen by the Subscriber system is due to an error in the Subscriber crystal oscillator frequency. An error signal is generated on the basis of this assumption and a correction signal applied to the transmit programmable PLL synthesizers. This correction signal places the transmit frequency at the correct transmit frequency when correcting for the Subscriber system error. Transmit operations and Net Entry can now be initiated.
- FIG. W operations are now initiated.
- the Base Station receives the subscriber signal as adjusted by the Subscriber system. There may still be an error which can develop over time due to temperature changes or changes in component values due to aging.
- the receive Subscriber signal as tracked in a PLL and an error signal is generated on the basis of the PLL tracking operations. All received frequencies are compared to the Base Station frequency system as a standard. This measured frequency error is translated by the Base Station into a correction signal and transmitted to the Subscriber as a frequency adjustment command. The Base Station periodically continues to perform a carrier frequency measurement and correction during the polling operations as required so long as the Subscriber is in transmit operation.
- FIG. 19 Subscriber Timing Adjustment Operations
- FIG. 19 indicates the system level details of the operation as it is performed by Base Station.
- the Subscriber receives the Base Station signal while operating in a receive only mode.
- the Subscriber acquires the Base Station frame sync signal.
- the signal delay as seen at the Base Station will depend on the range to the Base Station from the Subscriber.
- the Base Station received the Subscriber signals compares the received time of arrival to an expected time of arrival (in this case the frame sync time) measures the delay, and derives a timing error measurement. Based on this delay, or timing error measurement, the Base Station computes a signal timing correction adjustment command for the Subscriber. This command is communicated to the Subscriber whose system timing is adjusted on the basis of this instruction. Additional measurements and corrections are made during the Net Entry operations as required until the timing is adequately adjusted to allow the Subscriber to proceed to the Channel and Services Assignment region.
- the Base Station periodically continues to perform a Subscriber signal timing measurement and correction during the polling operations as required so long as the Subscriber is in transmit operation. It should be noted that timing error measurements at all times after net entry is complete are made on the basis of cell timing rather than frame sync since the Subscribers do not transmit frame sync signals and only transmit cells. The Base Station can compare all received signals, after initial adjustment are made, to cell timing since all transmissions are to be made in synchronism with cell slots.
